6 # Banquets

1.

After the duel with Julio, a feast was held to celebrate my birthday.

Honestly, I was annoyed to participate, but I couldn’t have an Aiden birthday party without an ID, so I decided to show my face. I had some personal business to attend to.

“Aiden, the next son of the Duke of the Stroke family, will be joining us today for his 15th birthday! ”

A myriad of eyes were drawn to me.

It’s a completely different atmosphere from before winning a duel. I crossed the banquet hall feeling strange pride and elevation.

Soon someone approached me.

“What about you?”

“I am Klaus, the knowledgeable heir to the Langsberg family. If you’ll excuse me, I’d like to talk to you for a moment. ”

A subtle smile with a strong impression. He was a man who could easily appeal to anyone. But I’m not really interested in fraternizing with the nobles of the kingdom or kingdom.

Just in case, I checked out Klaus’ character sheet, but there was nothing unusual about him.

“The Klaus ball. I’m starving right now, so I’m going to eat, but I can talk to you later if you want. ”

“Haha, I was just on my way! Why don’t we sit at the table together? ”

“Unfortunately, it’s rare for families to sit at the same table. I like relaxing and tasting alone. ”

“Hmmm, okay. ”

When I firmly expressed my intention to refuse, Klaus stepped back.

“Excuse me, Principal Aiden. From the Earl of Adler · ·”

“Baron Bain’s Knowledgeable · ·”

However, the other nobles immediately jumped in, and I sweated to refuse their offer of entry. I don’t know how sticky it is or how many times I told you to turn it round and go away.

A little while later, some pretty aristocrats approached.

“Nice to meet you, Duke. Would you be willing to reward me with the victory you have won in this duel? ”

“I’m fine.”

When I say it like that, the proud spirits frowned and left.

Even though it looks a bit chilly, in this public place, a small action is the cause of taking the famous oral waters. So it’s better to hit an iron wall. Especially since I have a certified fiancée.

I didn’t know about the post-ice streets, but strangely enough, race in the ‘Le Daeyeon’ world view was more natural in appearance than the average human being in the modern world. Not to mention how beautiful the noble spirits look.

And yet the reason I wasn’t seduced by their glamour is simple. Even noble babies fly because they are all relative to squid in front of the woman I know.

Do I have to say that the line of “dazzling beauty” has risen? I think it’s right to say that the fuzzy beauty has become resistant.

The tiger says she’ll come when I tell her, just as the duchess of Utland reveals herself.

A beautiful girl who dominates the majesty and the majesty of the current Croatian Empire.

As the two people with enormous existence came closer, the nobles who were staying around me also gradually stopped noticing.

I got up from the table and bowed my head politely.

“Greetings, duc. ”

“Yes. What a wonderful duel, Aiden. But right now, you’re just as good at thinking about your fiancée as you are at swordsmanship. ”

Looking at that delightful smile, he seems to have seen me relentlessly cast out noble spirits.

But, Duke of Utland, knowing the nature of Elvio, I had little choice but to dislike the reaction.

That middle-aged woman looks at me with warm eyes, but there is a sticky greed. Perhaps he’s excited to see his grandson born with the favors of the Elves and Swordsman Stroke.

I brought up the preliminary story.

“It’s been a while since I’ve been to Utland Manor. ”

“Hm. Now that I think about it, I haven’t been to a mansion since Chesha left for the Tower of Marts five years ago. Since my father-in-law has visited the country twice recently, don’t you think it’s polite for your son-in-law to come to the mansion as well? ”

“I would have tried to understand if the President hadn’t told me. Good. I’ll be stopping by the Utlands soon. ”

“Haha, this guy! ”

Elvio smiles with a big smile and continues to talk.

“Let me tell you something interesting. The reason I’m here today is because I received an invitation from Duke Ritten, but her side is a little different. Since my last visit, I’ve been knocking over doctors wanting to visit The Stroke Mansion for four birthdays in Iden. ”

“Ah, Father · · ·”

In response, Chesha, standing quietly next to the duc, rubs her cheeks red and gives a slight notice.

“Is that so?”

I asked politely, but I thought it was natural.

After returning from the Red Tower without any success, Chesha must have been in a hurry. In such a situation, the opponent with a clue to solve the impairment in magical sensitivity has appeared, so it is natural to roll your feet and expect a reunion.

“Then I’ll stay out of it. You’re not even going to refuse Chesha’s offer to join you, are you, Aiden? ”

“No way.”

The duc smiling in my face mixed in among the nobles who were wearing the banquet hall.

I gaze quietly at Chesha sitting across the street. Ask her about her prominently reminded expression.

“How was it? The medication I gave you worked. ”

“· · · I successfully used my order for the first time. What the hell are those drugs? ”

When I heard that, I smiled.

According to the original timeline, Chesha succeeded in using magic other than magic explosions four years from now. The starting point has been greatly pulled.

“I’ve been refining this sap with rare medicinal ingredients that I’ve collected personally. I’ve always been interested in herbs. ”

“Personally made, that’s a lot of stuff? Sensitivity impairment was a problem that the horse tower couldn’t solve at all · ·”

Chesha could not believe my words easily. I’m sorry for the mother alchemist who discovered the efficacy of yin candle in its original history, but technically, I’m the only one who knows the recipe for yin and yang in the world right now, so I’m not lying.

I coughed.

Let’s get down to business.

“I’ll tell you one thing. The aphrodisiac tea you drank is a great elixir, but it’s not going to dramatically improve your sensitivity. We need to do a few more steps to heal him. ”

“What is that action · · · ·? ”

Chesha swallows a dry saliva and asks.

Lips dry quickly, pupils shaking in tension. That’s why I feel nervous, Hefty.

“There’s one condition before you tell me that. ”

“ · · ·? ”

“When the time comes, I will leave the country and create a ‘clan’. I hope you’ll join me when the time comes, Chesha. ”

Chesha looks a little dazed.

He asks me soon.

“Clan? Surely if you’re not the heir to the family, that’s not a bad choice, but · · why would you want me? ”

“I need your magical talent. ”

She opened her eyes and looked at me as if she couldn’t believe that nothing mattered.

What is it?

Did I say something so shocking?

“Really? Not because I’m your childhood friend or your fiancée, but because you seem talented in magic? ”

“Uh-huh · Right. ”

· · · Just thinking about it, that sounds pretty fresh to Cesha at this point, not 10 years later. I’m sure you’ve heard a lot of praises about looks, but the opposite is true of magic.

She asked me.

“What happens if you refuse? ”

“· · · But I’ll tell you how to improve sensitivity impairment. But I won’t be able to diagnose the condition by myself. The cure will be delayed.”

Even if Chesha cannot be recruited right now, it is always beneficial to treat sensitivity disorders if you think about what will happen in parts 3-4. But given how desperate she feels, it is unlikely that she will reject my offer. That’s why I said it honestly.

“· · · I’ll think about it. ”

Chesha replied as if her spirit had left her.

I don’t think I can get an answer right now.

I leaned over the dining table and said,

“I told the duc earlier, but I’m going to join the Utland family soon. I’ll hear the answer then. ”

2.

I walked out of the busy banquet hall and through the garden. I made sure there was no one around. I said in a loud voice.

“Spiro, are you here? ”

“You’re quite late. ”

In the blink of an eye, estriel appeared before me. It was surprising, but I didn’t feel any sense of hypocrisy because it was a natural attitude, as if it had been there from the beginning.

“It was hard to get out of my birthday party. By the way, there are tons of knights and magicians lighting their eyes, and they’ve broken through the dragonglass surveillance into the mansion. ”

“I’m confident in my meetings like this. · Yes, your little grandfather, who is a continent ten-year-old, might be the only one to watch out for him in this mansion. ”

Estriel shrugged his shoulders and complimented me on my performance in the duel. He pointed out a few trivial points. I took the advice to heart, and I asked him.

“Spiro. You said you were going back to the Circle today, right? So how do we learn the other two feasts of resonance disruption? ”

“Well, do I need to learn other feasts? Honestly, even if I could use one of these, I wouldn’t be beaten up anywhere. ”

“At least I’m strong enough to beat my grandfather. ”

Estriel giggles as he puts the names of dozens of continents in his mouth.

“That’s quite an ambition. Come to me if you feel inadequate. If we inquire about the Alsigmas in the Holy Land, we should be able to reach the main source of the Yupa soon. ”

He smiles and gives a hint, turning his head slightly.

“Then it’s time to part ways. ”

“Oh, let me ask you something first. Spiro’s the top assassin of the Circuit Church, isn’t he? What business does a giant like that have in coming all the way to the stroke kingdom? ”

Why did Estriel want the elixir of the Heart of Fire? I had no choice but to ask him because I was too curious as an addict who had rehearsed “Redayyeon” several times.

He stares at me, wondering if it was a question I hadn’t thought of.

“Are you having trouble answering? ”

“Well · · · It’s not really like that, and it doesn’t matter if you tell me. I just got some information that there’s an ancient ruin with a great elixir nearby. That’s why I came to find you. ”

I was awake.

I came to seek the elixir for a second time, but I can’t believe he even knew the existence of the ‘Fire Mausoleum’ and came here. There was only a mention in the Setup House that like all adventurers, he went back to find the Heart of the Fire and failed.

· · · No, wait.

You knew about the ruins?

You don’t think that’s true?

When I sensed something, I asked Estriel in a trembling voice.

“So, did you find the ruins? ”

“It took me a month to find out. When I went inside, I thought there were lots of golems or traps from the Mado Empire era, so I was sure I would win · · At the very bottom, I noticed that someone had already robbed me of the important elixir. It was a beautiful waste. ”

The moment Estriel said that, he lost his sight.

I saw a message in front of me from the tripper system

Collected [McGuffin No.717/ Player of the Mausoleum .]

That’s what I thought.

I don’t know about Estriel, but he did a hell of a job without even knowing it.

He would, too, if he hadn’t stopped by the ruins first, Epio, the protagonist of ‘Le Daeyeon’, would have screamed in parts 1.
